Major Pouchen, of Toronto, who wrote the senatorial Investigating committee that he could furnish sen sational evidence, regarding the al leged negligence of J. Bruce Ismay and officers of the Titanic, will be a witness this afternoon. Thirty-two sailors and four offi cers, who were amon? the survivors of the Titanic crew ordered to re main in this country till tho lnvesti gaton ended have arrived here. They are indignant, declaring tho senate committee has no right to hold them against their will. Vice-president Franklin of the White Star line, was a witness before the committee at the resumption of the Titanic Inquiry today.' Ho ad mitted that some one 4n the White Star office might have given out the statement that .the Titanic pussengers were safe when they were drowned but disavowed the responsibility for the report. Franklin said that possibly some employee sent tho message to Con gressman Hughes, of West Virginia, that all pnseengers were saved, but he said no officer did It. Franklin said the telegram to Con gressman Hughes certainly was not authorized. He said he would like to have tho committee ask Liverpool about it. The crew and surviving officers of the Titanic are being carefully guard ed and private detectives arc closely watching J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star line, who is a guest of the new Waldorf hotel. A largo crowd stood In front of the FANS SEE, LOCAL TRI-STATE LEAGUE TEAM IN ACTION FIRST TIME BEAT PILOT Pendleton fans yesterday afternoon had their first opportunity of gazing upon prospective Buckarooes under fire when In a practice game with the Pilot Rock Pirates reinforced by two of Garrett's pitchers and one of his catchers, the wearers of the "Let 'er Buck" suits chalked up seven straight marks against a doughnut. Though - the sky was obscured with rain clouds and a chill zephyr cooled the ardor of fans and players alike, the contest was not devoid of thrills and served very well the purpose for which It was Intended, namely, the sifting of the chaff from the wheat. Rustemeyer and Wynne occupied the slab for the visitors with Pern brook on the Receiving end of their buttery, while Mountain and Hew itt put 'em over for the local squad with Wilson as backstop. Had It not have been for a bad second inning lor Rusty, the game might have been without score, for in alt other cantos the wlelderg of the stick were pretty ' much at the mercy of the twirlers. Pendleton scored all of her seven runs in that fatal second but the tall moundman was not responsible for all of the scores. Though he allowed four hits, ono of which was a two sacker and one a homer, walked two men and made an error, he was aided and abetted by two errors from his teammates. He started the game right well, for MeiiBor, which, by the way, is the cor rect handle for him who is known as Jlmmlo Burns, whiffed the breezes as tho first man up and the next two went down In rapid order. ' In the second, however, things commenced ' to be bad for him when Lieualien A. C. I'l'.NK'S SISTER LOST LIFE OX TITANIC Miss Annie Funk, sister of Deputy Sheriff A. C. Funk of this city, was a passenger on the 111 fated steamer Titanic and she went to her death when the great ship went down last Sunday night. It was not until this morning the local man heard of the death of his loved relative. The sister was aged 28 years of age and had been for six years past a missionary in India. She was returning to her home In Pennsylvania and came via London. The deputy sheriff knew she was to sail for home last week but not until today did he learn she was abord the Titanic. News to that effect Came to him by wire this morning from his home people in Pennsylvania. Thus far absolutely no news has been obtained showing par ticulars regarding Miss Funk's death. This leads to the belief she remained aboard the ship when the. life boats were filled, giving up her own life that others might be saved from a watery death. hotel all day In hope of catching a glimpse of that official. Franklin admitted he knew last Monday that the liner Carpathla had picked up twenty life boats filled with passengers, but did not publish it be cause it was not authentic. Despite the efforts of the detectives a United Press correspondent suc ceeded In eluding the . guards and (Continued on Page 8) dropped Cushman's high infield fly, putting another on and the bases were filled when Walters stuck out a Texas leaguer. ' Jiiiiinle Gets n Homer. Wilson, next up, fanned and it looked as if the tall boy would pull himself out of the hole, but after he had put two strikes over on Garrett he Issued the manager a pass, fore lng Nadeau to the pan. Mountain was next at the willow and by way of winning his own game, walloped the pellet a stiff clout on the nose for two bags, cleaning up the bases. Mensor then came through with his healthy swat which enabled him to mplete the circuit when It was mis- Judged by the P. R. fielder and al lowed to roll through the fence. Lo dell slammed out another hit and came home when Nadeau's grounder was mussed up by Royer. Augustus had already been retired and, al though Cushman was walked, the scoring ceased when Walters flew out. Pilot Rock never had a chance to score, getting only one man as far as second during the entire game but at that, for a home talent aggregation, they put up a good exhlbltin of base ball. Game Reveals Talent. To the fans the game was very sat isfactory, for It revealed the fact that Jess Garrett has gathered a pretty fast bunch of players together from which to pick his pennant-winning team. His staff of twirlers seems to be a pretty able one. Though he was hit hard In one inning and showed a tendency toward wildness, Rustemey (Continued on page five.) 50,000 LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS EXPECTED TO GO ON STRIKE New York, April 22. Unless an agreement is reached by 3:30 this af ternoon when their urmistlce expires, fifty thousand engineers, employes oi the great railroads east of Chicago and north of the Ohio river, will be ordered out on a strike within thlrty- .slx hours. The engineers demand an IS per cent Increase In wages, a standardization of runs and extra pay when held at terminals. The rail roads say they are unable to meer these demands. Unless there is a sudden receding by the railroads from the stand taken, a strike appears in evitable. Chief officers of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and repre sentatives of the railroads ate con ferring separately here today, the former at the Broadway Central ho tel and the latter In the Hudson ter minal building, but according to re ports emanating from these sources hope of amicable settlement of the difficulty Is faint. As a reason that they cannot grant the men's demands, the roads say the public is clamoring for double track ing, interlocking switches and otuei safeguards. There is a possibility that the gov ernment will be asked to mediate, Waterman Defeats Walker Returns At 3 o'clock this afternoon County Clerk Sailing and his corps of assist ants had partially completed the offi cial count of the ballots of the pri mary election and their figures show ed that H. A. Waterman of Hertniston had defeated Horace Walker, pres ent incumbent, for the nomination for county commissioner by 53 votes. The result of this race was uncertain un til the figures were added and came as a surprise to many, inasmuch as Walker had been leading by a. small margin up until the last few precinct; had been heard from. The count being made now will not be complete as Vinson precinct has not yet sent in its vote but there are not enough voters'in that precinct to change the result. It will probably be late tonight be fore the officials complete their count as they have not yet commenced up on the names which have been writ ten In. The totals taken up until 3 o'clock are as follows: President La.Follette 54S, Roose velt 1048, Taft 642. Senator Bourne 271, Lowell 1277, Morton 72, Selling 576. Congressman Cochran 354, Ellis 890, Roosevelt 215, Rusk 522, Sinnott 203. District Attorney Neal 986, Steiwer 1356. Representative Hlnkle 989, Mann 970, Oliver 720, Peterson 683. County. Clark Saling 1558, Wallan 669. School Superintendent Welles 797, Young 1369. County Commissioner Walkei 1010, Waterman 1063. State Returns Slow. Portland, Ore., April 22. (Special) With returns fairly complete it was clear at 2 o'clock this afternoon that Colonel Roosevelt carried Oregon by a substantial plurality and that Sen ator La Follotte and President Taft were second and third, respectively, in tho race for the republican presiden tial nomination. At that hour the vote stood: Roosevelt 35,652, La Folietto 32.001, Taft 26.098. When the re turns are complete it probably will be seen that Roosevelt's plurality Is about 4000 and possibly a little great er. Wilson is without doubt the winner of the democratic presidential nomi nation. The vote in Multnomah coun ty at 2 o'clock was: Wilson 2599, Clark 1129, Harmon 123. The vote from outside counties was still so In complete as to leave the Wilson plur ality uncertain. Late outside returns will not change the standing of the three candidates. Selling has a plurality of 6000 over At least one Pendleton dona tion will be represented In the relief fund being raised for the relief of the survivors and the widows and orphans of the vie- tima of tho wrecked Titanic. Charles H. Hammond, veteran bootblack who has his stand at the Welch cigar store, Saturday sent five dollars to Portland to bo forwarded to New York. Hammond is a native of Eng-- land and has sailed on nearly every sea lu tho world and his sympathies are, therefore, more than ordinarily strong. OFFICIAL COITSMS CHANGE ON COUNTY COMMISSIONER Aids Survivors. - IN THIRTY-SIX HOURS under the terms of the Erdman act Labor Commissioner Neill is In close touch with both sides and both the engineers and railroad officers insist they have nothing to arbitrate. A strike would seriusly affect the large eastern clue's as the movement of foodstuffs, milk and dairy pro duets would be greatly hampered. Warren S. Stone, grand chief engi neer, declared that New York poli ticians have asked the engineers to accept a truce with the rairoads and join with them in an appeal to con gress to go over the heads of the interstate commerce commission and permit the railroads to advance freight rates and increase the engi neers' wages. The politicians promised, Stone said, that the railroads would show congress that the proposed increase in rates is justifiab.e. Sione refused to consider the proposition. ("lias. 1'. Neill, commissioner of la bor and Martin A. Knapp, presiding judge of the court of commerce, took pessimistic views on the outcome of the impending strike. Judge Knapj. said: "I came here on my own ini tiative to try to prevent a terrible in dustrial calamity. The out'.ouk is se rious." By Fifty-Three Votes State are Slow Bourne, and no prospect of a mate rial change. N. J. Sinnott has a lead of more than 800 over Ellis, his nearest rival, and appears to have clinched the re publican congressional nomination in the second district. Lane is leading Pierce by about 3X00 and will be the winner of the democratic senatorial nomination. . Without doubt Ben Olcott had a lead of about 3000 over Fields. Ol cott's nomination for secretary of state is certain. i.'it'kel has lead of 1600 over Cot tell in the contest for dairy and food commissioner. Lafferty was nominated over Gant enbeln, in the third congressional dis trict by a plurality of about 700. Figures are not available here on Maloney of Pendleton and probably will not be for a day or two. PETERSON ELECTOR; MALONEY DELEGATE As a result of the primary election in the democratic party Friday Pen dleton will have a state elector on the democratic ticket this fall and will send a delegate to the democratic national convention at Ballifore In June. Will M. Peterson will be the elector, and County Judge J. W. Ma loney delegate to the national con vention. The five candidates for elector on the democratic ballot were Will M. Peterson, Hugh McLain, Marshfield, John M. Wall, Hillsboro, D. M. Wat son, Portland, and F. C. Whitten. Portland. Reports received thus far show that Peterson led all the can didates In the voting in eastern Ore gon save In two counties. Complete returns on the race for delegates to the democratic conven tion are not -yet at hand. Reports re reived from a number of counties. ever, show that Maloney has run so well that scarcely any doubt can be entertained as to his success. If he is elected he will have the pleasure of attending the national convention at Baltimore and of casting his vote, along with the votes of other delegates from this state, for Woodrow Wilson for president. Each delegate receives from the state the sum of $200 for travel pay and expenses. In the event Oregon should give a majority to the democratic presiden tial nominee this fall. Will Peterson will have an opportunity of casting his ballot for the president-elect. UNION DEPOTS ARE CLASSED ILLEGAL BY SUPREME COURT Washington, April 22.

J. M. Cornelison, missionary at Tutuilla, was without question the most interesting of all of the many exhibits and that as a re sult a move was started to have him collect a largur exhibit to take to the Panama exposition in 1915. In addi tion to Rev. Cornelison and his two children, Pendleton was represented at the convention by Mrs. Mary Moule and Mrs. M. A. Thompson, delegates from the local Presbyterian women's missionary society, Mrs. F. E. Liven good, delegate from the Presbyterian society, Mrs. Amos Pond and Mrs. Liz zie Minthorn, delegates from the Tu tuilla missionary society. In Rev. Corneiison's exhibit were many Indian pictures and curios from the Moorhouse collection, blankets and robes from the Pendleton Woolen Mills, pictures and a model of the Tutuilla mission and many relics of the old Whitman mission. As t'i throngs gathered to look upon the unique collection, Rev. Cornelison ex plained the work which is being done on the local reservation toward bring ing the Indians Into the pale of te church and all of the delegates evinc ed a great Interest in his lectures. Steamers Collide. Baltimore, Mr., April 22. The steamer Cretan of the Merchants' and Marine line, was rammed by the steamer Iroquois and badly damaged off Cape Hatteras today, according to a dispatch received here from Nor folk. The passengers and crew es caped unhurt. DEMOCRATS NAME STRONG MEN TO OPPOSE "WEAK SPOTS" IN THE REPUBLICAN TICKET Umatilla county democrats named the greater part of a county ticket Friday and unless all signs fail the minority party will have very form idable candidates for a number of lo cal positions. A particular effort will be made, it is understood, to elect two members of the legislature and a county commissiner. For legislative positions tho names of W. H. Skinner of Hermlston and A. B. McEwen of Athena, were writ ten in and presumably both men will have the democratic nomination. Both nominees ar emen of the highest standing in their communities and have excellent records to their credit. Mr. Skinner was formerly mayor of Lewlston, Idaho, and Mr. McEwen but recently served a term as mayor of Athena. There are many, of both poltlcal parties who are willing to wager they will defeat Messrs. Mann and Hinklo in the election this fall. Among independent minded republi cans there Is a feeling of resentment over the nomination of Hinklo and Mann who had the support of the old machine organization during the cam paign though strenuous denials of the fact were made. For county commissioner the demo crats have named Manuel Friedly and D IN TORNADOES TO PILE OF WRECKAGE St. Louis, April 22 Twenty-one persons are known to be dead today' as a result of a violent tornado which swept Illinois Sunday, besides those who perished at Bush, Ills., which Is today reduced to a pile of wreckage. Details from Busb are expected to add ten or fifteen to the death roll. It is known the dead include six at Murphysboro, seven at Willisville and eight in the district between Bush and West Frankfort. Ten employes of the Iron Mountain railroad at Bush are believed to have been fatally Injured. They are be ing brought to the Missouri Pacific railroad hospital. The roundhouse was demolished and forty cars blown over at Bush. A message filed at Bush last night ar rived here today, saying that ten are dead and the Injured will number one hundred. It is reported that three persons are dead and seven Injured at Campus, Illinois, near Kankakee as a result of a tornado. 5 Killed at Grant Park. Chicago, April 22. Telephone re pair men arriving here say five were killed by a tornado last night at Grant Park, Illinois, near Kankakee, and many injured. The damage is reported to be half a million dollars. Nino Dio at Morocco. Morocco, Ind., April 22. Nine per sons are dead here today and twenty injured, one fatally, as a result of Sunday's tornado. The damage will reach half a million dollars. The tornado wrecked the home of Charles Rice here, killing seven "mem bers of his family. Rice is dying. Two women In a nearby house were killed. The path of the tornado was three hundred feet wide ana narrowly miss ing the home of eGorge Ade, the hu morist and playwright, at Hazleton. ''CAN YOU RAKE BREAD?" NEW WEDDING QUERY Boston. Res-. Mabel R. William, pastor of the Church of Immortallsm here, will hereafter decline to marry couples unless each produces two duly attested certificates. Both must have physician's signa tures showing that they have passed medical inspection. In addition the husband must pre sent a statement demonstrating his financial ability to maintain himself and wife in decent circumstances. The bride's second certificate must show that she is a master of the mys teries of household management, cooking and domestic science. his followers are backing on him to win out for commissioner this fall. They predict that victory for Fried ly will be particularly easy If Walk er proves to be the republican nomi nee. The democrats wrote in the name of F. C. Evers of Echo for county re corder, T. C. Frazier of Milton for clerk, Dr. T. M. Henderson for cor oner. Prof, W. H. Beakeny for school superintendent, and C. H. Carter for circuit judge. It Is understood that the nominees for clerk, recorder and coroner will make the race, but Charles H. Carter says he will not ac cept for circuit judge while it is also Improbable that Rev. Bleakeny will run for the superintendency. The name of Beakeny was written in by the democrats with the purpose of having an acceptable candidate avail able in the event Frank K. Welles was renominated. However, the crushing defeat of Welles by Young removes this necessity for a demo cratic aspirant. The names of J. R. Raley and S. A. Newberry were written In by the dem ocrats for district attorney and It will toke the official count to show who received the most votes. Whether the democratic nominee will make the race remains to be seen.
